Lillian Gish: Her Legend, Her Life

The Story

At the time of her death in 1993, Lillian Gish was universally recognized as a film legend. Now Charles Affron reveals a life that, for decades, was cast in the shadow of self-generated myth. Using newly released papers, Affron fills in gaps left by Gish's selective memoirs and authorized biographies and shows how the actress carefully forged her public identity while keeping much of her life private.
